Hi. Brand new member here. After years of Audi ownership, I decided to see how the other half lives, and just got a 2008 550i.

The details... 16K miles, 6spd, Nav, L7. Actually, pretty much everything, short of HUD, night vision, and keyless. Previous owner also added an RPI exhaust.

On to the pics...

Welcome. Looks like you've got a good start already. RPI exhaust and powdercoated/painted wheels.

See you've done some mods on your Audi. What you got planned for this car?

I keep telling myself "nothing". But, we'll see how long that lasts.

Welcome. I wish my 550i was a stick like yours but for now it's an auto. Nice whip.
